As a result, the entire television device 100 is activated, and shifts to a YouTube image display state or a browser state. At this time, an acknowledge can be transmitted to the portable terminal 500.

  Even when the television apparatus is in a normal power-off state, the command processing unit 202 can interpret the URL reception operation as a full-scale power-on command for the entire television apparatus, as described above.

  However, some television apparatuses require special data such as magic packets by remote operation in order to shift from the normal power-off state to the power-on state. In such a case, the command processing unit 202 may not activate the power supply even if the URL is received. In such a situation, the portable terminal 500 does not receive an acknowledge within a certain time after transmitting the URL. At this time, the mobile terminal 500 adds the magic packet and the head of the URL to the television apparatus 100 and transmits them. Thereby, the television apparatus 100 can shift to a full-scale power-on state, and can shift to a YouTube image display state or a browser state.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the television set that accesses the network server to acquire and display the content of the moving image and the portable terminal 500 can operate in association with each other.

  That is, the mobile terminal 500 can transmit a URL for accessing a moving image site on the web to the television apparatus. In this case, a high-quality moving image can be reproduced by a digital television device in which a low-quality URL for mobile terminals is automatically converted into a high-quality URL. That is, in the system according to the present embodiment, the first address on the network used by the portable terminal 500 is converted on the route for transmitting to the television device, and the first address is converted into the performance of the television device. And converting means for converting the information into information including a second address that can be used by the television apparatus and that triggers activation of a specific application of the television apparatus.

  Thereby, in the television apparatus, when reproducing the moving image content, it is possible to reproduce the moving image suitable for the resolution of the television apparatus.

  In this embodiment, when the URL transmitted from the mobile terminal to the television device is for a video site, the mobile terminal switches to a playback operation screen for television operation and is for a website. In this case, it is possible to switch to a pointer operation screen for television operation. That is, it is possible to switch to an operation screen (television operation screen corresponding to the content of the URL) that is optimal for operating the site screen received by the television device. This saves the user the trouble of screen selection / switching operations.

  In this embodiment, when the mobile terminal transmits a URL to the television apparatus, this triggers. When the power of the television apparatus is in active standby, the power is automatically turned on and received automatically. It is possible to display a web page with the URL. The content of the target website can be acquired and displayed without the user turning on the power.

  Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments have been presented by way of example and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.
